Spirit Knows

Larrein Trudeau is a member of Victoria Monthly Meeting a member of Ministry and Counsel and a friend of mine. Since I met her four years ago I have been impressed by her simple assertion that <u>Spirit</u> speaks to her -- tells her what she should do. If she does not hear His voice she waits until she does. She has learned through hard experience what to do next -- she celebrates and follows His directions. <p>I believe the answers to our pain stem directly from emotional injuries received as small children or even in the womb she says in her introduction. I unravel my life in these terms....My story is universal. I quashed my spirituality to deal with my pain. <p>Her book <i>SPIRIT KNOWS</i> is the story of her journey from an unhappy childhood a confused and painful early adulthood alcoholism moving from place to place in northern B.C. to her present certainty. <p>The story is touching. Her achievement is impressive. She has been helped along the way and she has helped others as a friend as an Alcohol and Drug Counsellor as a member of the Religious Society of Friends and finally by writing this book. <p><i> - by Constance Mungall of Canadian Friend Magazine</i>
